antioxidants
ZOAQUINOX
This product is a blend of antioxidants formulated for use in animal food to help preserve raw materials, pre-mixes, fats, and oils.
Animal fats, vegetable oils, and other ingredients included in the formulation are susceptible to oxidation if not adequately protected.
Oxidation of fats, oils, vitamins, and pigments can reduce energy value and fatty acid availability, and may affect palatability, pigmentation, and nutritional balance.
ZOAQUINOX’s composition targets dynamic oxidation by acting as a metal ion chelator. Oxidation typically occurs through a free radical pathway that requires oxygen to react with unstable radicals.
ZOAQUINOX helps limit oxidation by donating hydrogen molecules to free radicals and peroxy radicals formed during the initiation and propagation stages of oxidation.
FUNGISTaTICS & BACTERICIDeS
ZOABACTER
ZOABACTER is a broad-spectrum bactericide (effective against both gram positive and gram-negative bacteria) that functions as both a bactericide and fungicide for use in food, drinking water, or within environments such as pens and henhouses. It also serves as an antimicrobial and gastrointestinal acidifier intended to support food conversion and productivity in breeders and layers.
The product is formulated to address issues such as diarrhea, which can lead to contaminated eggs, and may help maintain egg size and weight.
ZOABACTER consists of short-chain organic acids and their salts combined with 3-p-cymenol. It does not contain formaldehyde and is described as non-toxic for its intended uses. Physical and chemical properties are designed to target bacteria and fungi.
Pathogenic microorganisms are recognized as a cause of economic losses in domestic animals, as they can disrupt nutrient absorption, affect the immune system and health, and increase stress levels, potentially limiting growth and development in animal populations.
ZOAmicost
This product is an antimycotic containing a combination of short-chain organic acids and salts. It is formulated for the prevention and control of fungal and yeast contamination in raw materials and foods that are susceptible to such issues.
ZOAMICOST functions by entering the cell walls of fungi and yeasts; once inside, it inhibits intracellular enzymes involved in carbohydrate metabolism, thereby limiting the growth and reproduction of these organisms.
The product is available in two forms: a powder for food protection and a liquid for the fumigation of stored grains in silos.
acidifiERS & promotERs
ZOACIDEM
ZOACIDEM is a range of acidifiers and growth promoters composed of a synergistic combination of organic acids, including propionic acid, butyric acid, benzoic acid, and formic acid. These acids may be coated and encapsulated with effective aromatic compounds for enhanced delivery.
The inclusion of ZOACIDEM in animal feed lowers intestinal pH, which improves nutrient digestibility and decreases the incidence of diarrhea. This, in turn, contributes to improved growth performance and conversion rates, resulting in increased daily weight gain and muscular mass during fattening.
During the early weeks of life, certain animals—particularly piglets—experience a physiological deficit in hydrochloric acid production. The use of dietary acidifiers helps address this deficiency by promoting protein coagulation in the stomach and facilitating the conversion of pepsinogen to pepsin, thereby enhancing nutrient assimilation throughout the digestive tract.
Additionally, introducing vegetable proteins during weaning presents digestive challenges due to differences in protein coagulation compared to milk proteins. This can alter the intestinal flora, shifting pH toward alkalinity and creating favorable conditions for the proliferation of coliforms and anaerobes, which are primary contributors to diarrheal diseases in young animals.
MYCOTOXIN SEQUESTRANT
ZOAsil
This substance functions as an adsorbent for mycotoxins and removes small amounts through cation exchange. It is effective against aflatoxin, citrinin, vomitoxin, fumonisin, ochratoxin and other mycotoxins.
ZOASIL is a synergistic mixture based on zeolites and hydrated aluminum silicates, with an excellent adsorption range. Mycotoxins adhere to ZOASIL and are effectively retained.
It has no negative effect on minerals, vitamins and antibiotics, nor on the adsorption of other nutrients used in premixes and animal feeds.

re-odorant
ZOAodor
ZOAODOR is a re-odorant designed to mitigate unpleasant odors that arise from bacterial proliferation or specific process conditions. Odors of this nature are typically generated by bacteria thriving in hot and humid environments containing organic waste. Given the pervasive and disagreeable nature of these odors, ZOAODOR has been developed to effectively neutralize them.
The product is primarily utilized in rendering plants where animal by-products such as meat, bone, and feathers are processed, as well as in wastewater treatment facilities, the dairy industry, and any environment requiring odor reduction and control.
Re-odorants function through two principal mechanisms:
-
Inhibition of odor-producing bacterial growth, achieved with natural antibacterial essential oils.
-
Incorporation of targeted aromatic compounds that mask malodors by competing on volatility and intensity.
